in Success Stories
Yesterday I competed in my first 5K with obstacles. This came almost 4 months after quitting smoking and dropping 17 pounds. I am proud to say that the results have been posted...I finished 2nd in our wave with a time of 35:01. I feel SO accomplished. I can't believe how far I've come :)
